      Verdict

      First Dance is hard to predict judged on her last run. An absence and a return at this level suggests there have been issues since. She would be hard to recommend in this small field judged on her latest run but positivity in the market would heighten interest. Amenta may have achieved less than it appears last time but COUNTER SPIRIT arrives on the back of an eyecatching debut. She was handled considerately on her debut and will improve for the extra furlong. Most of the yard's horses improve from their debut and her pedigree makes her one to watch on this surface.
